Manaia

From this small town, bread is exported around the world. Yarrows have been baking in the town since 1923. At the centre of the town is a war memorial band rotunda. The Manaia golf course surrounds the Manaia Redoubt; this was built in 1912 as a memorial to replace the original redoubt building. The blockhouses are the actual buildings and date from about 1880.
